On a two-player game, the second player can also choose the team name and alter this formation using his hand control.

During the game, the players are controlled by the use of the joystick. It is only possible for a player to control one footballer at any given time and that footballer is indicated by his shirt flashing alternate colours.

When a footballer is in control of the ball, the player can shoot by pressing Fire on the joystick. The length of time the player holds down Fire will decide how far the ball will travel after being kicked.

When a corner-kick is taken, the flight angle of the ball is altered by the length of time the Fire button is held. When a throw-in is taken, pressing Fire ensures that the ball will be thrown to a team-mate.
